C’mon, it’s not like the Republicans have an incredibly slim majority in both houses, multiple Republicans already defecting, & an incredibly unpopular invasion >65% disapproval during an election year with dozens of vulnerable Republican incumbents or anything /s

Posts like these are rife here and so unhelpful. So long as they're in the majority in both houses of Congress, it is the GOP that has the power to stop Trump.
Can Dems do more to protest? Surely. But don't confuse that with a kill switch. They don't have that. Nowhere near close.

It’s not like the Senate is part of the branch of government with the sole Constitutional power to authorize or prevent the President from invading another country.

BY THE WAY it can be super nice to have a big bag of cheese powder in your pantry. Box-style mac n cheese with any pasta you have on hand! Add some to bread dough for yummy cheesy bread! Sprinkle it on popcorn! You just can't lose.
Oh is there cheese discourse?
My thoughts on cheese are, that it is delicious and I love when it is added in nearly any form to nearly any food.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
